Hotmail is pissing me off!

All of a sudden, it won't accept my password.

I mean, this is an account I've had for years and years, and I'm POSITIVE about my password.

and, I can't seem to reset it because:

1) the "security" question is one I would never pick and

2) I can't seem to find anything on any of my "alternate" emails.

Somebody phished me, I think.

If you use that same password with anything else (e.g. bank accounts, paypal, etc.) I would change them all right away, just in case.
